Church Women Decide to Act
On March 9 the Georgia Council of Church Women convened in Atlanta. They met, not to mouth about brotherhood,
but to face the realities of racial and religious prejudice—and
to act.
A report of what they resolved to do is so good that it
deserves the widest possible attention and support.
' "The work of Christians," the Church Women said, "has
its roots in spiritual foundations. The sacredness of human
personality and justice in human relations are cornerstones
of the Judeo,—Christian ideal . . . This principle of our faith
has stood the test of history. The sovereignty of God as the
Lord of all life and of all the provinces of life—the economic,
the political, the cultural, as well as the moral and spiritual—
assures us of all the resources we need.
"The conscience of Georgia must find its expression
through us. We cannot hide behind words alone, for faith
without works is dead. Unless the church people of our state
take part as citizens in their government, we will awake to
find that we have lost o.ur political rights, our human rights,
and all the rights to which every person is entitled. It is our
Christian duty to work for the rights of all, white apd black,
men and women, persons of all faiths. Each has equal value
under the Constitution, which we love and cherish. Each is a
child of God.
"We must oppose any and all actions which deny the
rights of citizenship . . .
The education which we offer our children is shockingly
poor. In some of our States, there is only one teacher to
eighty pupils, and in many cases for that reason the schools
are not accredited. Many school buildings are dilapidated,
overcrowded, poorly heated, and poorly equipped. Some
classes must operate in double shifts, and school buses often
make four and-more trips a day. Our school teachers' salaries,
low by any standard, cannot compete with the salaries paid
by neighboring States.
Limited as opportunities are for our white children, our
Negro children are even more shamefully treated. Their
schools are the poorest of the poor. Their teachers have been
the most underpaid. We cannot pretend to believe in justice
and allow such inequality to continue . . .
"It is good to respect authority when it is properly used.
But, where authority trespasses against the way of God, it
is our responsibility. We as citizens dictate who shall be in
authority and the paths that they must follow".
"Our policemen must not be members of organizations
which spread fear and terror. On this day, we have commended the actions of the young men of Atlanta Junior Chamber
of Commerce, who have proposed that all officers of their
city take oaths that they are 'not members of any terroristic
organization; and we have resolved to work for similar measures in our own committees. There is no room in a democratic society for those, who wearing hoods and burning- crosses,
practice hatred and violence . . .
"If the' foundations be destroyed," cried the writer of
the Eleventh Psalm, "What can the-righteous do?" Are there
spiritual foundations in the people of Georgia to sustain the
kind of government we ought to have? We are interested in
the education ?md recreational facilities, the laws, the opportunities, the. 'general structure of government, and the
leaders who administer it. It is part of our task as Christians."
So said the Church Women of Georgia . . . Action like
that is needed in every community in America. Now is the
time! So Let's act! What say you Church Women of Ohio?
Have You Paid Your Civic Rent
It is more than keeping your own house in order—cutting the lawns and giving the fence a fresh coat of paint—
although such pride in ownership is necessary for an orderly
and friendly community. Civic rent is also more than the
state and national taxes we pay to protect our property and
to educate our children.
Civic Rent means a lot of those things not included in a
tax bill, although they may be included in our worship on
Easter Sunday.
For civic rent means giving your neighbor a pat on the
back when he do.es something to deserve it, and it means
giving the other fellow his full half of the road and driving
carefully at all times.
It includes a recognition of the less fortunate in our
